Congratulations to all Nelson players and Umpires who represented our Association or other Associations in the 2019 National Masters Tournament held in Hamilton and Rotorua over the period 3-9 March.
We entered 4 teams this year: Tasman Districts 35+ Men and Women, 45+ Nelson Women and 60+ Nelson Men. All teams played exceptionally well, with our Tasman Districts 35+ Women’s team gaining silver after a tough loss to Northland in the final, and our 60+ Nelson Men also gained silver after a hard fought loss to Auckland in the final. Our Tasman Districts 35+ Men finished 4th and our 45+ Nelson Women finishing 6th.
We also had a number of players who played for other Associations due to us not having enough to field a team in their age group. Tracy Stock represented Canterbury in the 50+ Men’s grade, and Brett Butcher, Mike Gafa, and Mark Gibbons played for Wellington in the 50+ Men’s grade coming home with GOLD.
During the tournament, selectors for the NZ Masters age group teams were kept busy selecting players for the upcoming Trans-Tasman Masters challenge to be held over in the Gold Coast 30 April-4 May 2019. These teams have now been made and we would like to congratulate all those players from our region who were selected.
